#... and i going to throw up? obviously i didnt but i was like whoa

[allylikethecat]

Please tell us more about your concert experience!! I was waiting to see if you were gonna post anything about how it went. You don’t have to if that’s not something that you want to share ❤️❤️lots of love

Thank you so much for this ask! I got excited and this somehow got very long...

I had a lot of fun at the show! I know the general consensus was that Matty wasn’t really himself / seemed “off” that night (which is for sure true- he was very quiet and hardly talked in between songs and also they played less songs than usual). But everyone is entitled to an off day, and also I'm sure its exhausting putting on that kind of show multiple times a week. Another thing I'm not sure if anyone has taken into consideration but... it was, and is still HOT in Arizona. They've been in California but Arizona is a whole different kind of hot and if you're not used to it (which I doubt a group of British men are) it can mess you up. The show was inside but it doesn't really matter - it's hot and dry here (like it was over 100F out the day of the show - which as someone who is used to the 115F days felt comfortable but if you've been in LA where its like 75F? That's a big jump) and it can just... make you feel generally awful and like your entire body is dried out. Arizona is also at a higher altitude than like... LA which is another thing to take into consideration because that change can also make one feel like crap and hate everyone around you lol Anyway this is just my speculation as someone who has traveled to a lot of places and is sensitive to weather / environmental changes like that. Regardless they still put on a good show even if people have pointed out that Matty was quieter than usual.

HOWEVER he looked and sounded a million times better than I expected him too? I obvious like his voice but I never considered it to be particularly strong / powerful and I wasn’t sure how he was going to sound live even though I have seen videos of his performances, and I was actually blown away but how good he sounded. He also didn’t look as weathered as I expected him too? (Sorry if that is mean to say) but he tends to look a little rough in pictures (especially candids) sometimes so I was pleasantly surprised. He was however smaller than I expected him to be especially after all the how tall is he discourse. I was also surprised that despite being little he looked very sturdy and healthy which was cool to see! Technically speaking it was really cool to watch Adam play as well (I’m short and didn’t have the best view of George) BUT ROSS, I get the Ross thing a lot more now.  I was like oh… oh it all makes sense 🤣

Everyone I met in the crowd (for the most part!) was very nice- I did not camp, I will never be camping, but I did wait in line for a few hours and was lucky enough to end up with a good spot in the crowd (maybe 5 or 6 people back center stage?) I was also really surprised by the size of the crowd - it was a lot fuller than I was expecting which was also nice to see! 

Overall, I had a really good time, and enjoyed the show - it was nine years in the making and I had a fantastic time and here I am days later still buzzing with excitement about it and trying to be chill 😂

Thank you so much for following up!

Friday Night Stabby best quotes part 14 - Legacy Peeps edition (05/03/21)

people playing in this game: Skizz, Joker, Impulse, Zloy, Logic, Poppy (PoptartKatze), Pearl, Chim (ChimneySwift), Sausage, Avo (Avomance). prox chat is off bc the game updated and crewlink didnt work

…

Chim: Okay, I’m here! Don’t start without me! Poppy: We just started without you. Zloy: We just started without you.

...

*Impulse reports Skizz’s body* Impulse: Hello hello. Somebody killed my blueberry friend. Somebody killed my blueberry friend and I’m sad! Zloy: Quick let’s think about it: who had the motive? Impulse: It was in electrical, by the way. Poppy: I was messing with wires. Logic: That sounds very ‘electrical’. Poppy: Not messing with bodies! I was messing with wires IN electrical. Pearl: That’s where the body was, Poppy.

...

Impulse: I’m just happy to be part of this crew :) Pearl: So happy you would stab somebody?

...

Sausage: You voted for me?! Logic, get outta here! I didn’t even say one word, Logic!

...

Pearl: Another body in electrical. Poppy, have you been playing with wires again? Poppy: I was… somewhere. Not in electrical, obviously.

...

Joker: At the beginning of the game, I went into electrical and did my tasks and left and then I went ALL the way around to the other side to do asteroids in weapons. Pearl: I actually believe that; I remember seeing you in there. Zloy: I’m sorry, I was not listening. I was too busy voting you out of the airlock.

...

Logic: *is the only one who voted for Sausage again* Sausage: Stop it, Logic! I hate you!

...

Zloy, during the round: This is a public announcement that ghosts can and should do their tasks. Sausage: Roger roger. Logic: Roger roger. Zloy: It’s a public announcement, you don’t need to roger roger if I’m speaking over the intercom.

...

Pearl: I think it’s Logic; all of us have been in the middle for the majority of the round. Zloy: I’m pretty sure Logic hasn’t been, so let’s yeet him. Impulse to his chat: Oh no. He’s getting yeeted.

...

Zloy: Joker, can I have my lime back, please? Joker: What, Zloy? What’d you say? Zloy: Can I have my lime back? Everybody knows I’m lime. Since Avo stole green. Avo: I didn’t steal anything! *changes colour to brown* Zloy: *changes colour to green* There we go. Thank you, Avo. Avo: You are welcome, sir. Zloy: See? This is how you make friends. This is how you establish connections. Joker: Zloy, we’re- We’ve always been friends, though.

...

Skizz: Okay, who was not doing tasks? We were down to one task for, like, a month. Joker: I want to say that I did all my tasks and that you should be proud of me. Skizz: Well, you WANNA say that but can you say it truthfully? Joker: I DID do all my tasks. Skizz: Well, atta boy. Joker: Are you proud? :D Skizz: I AM proud of you! :D

...

*body is reported* Avo: Who did it?! Skizz: You make one heck of a detective.

...

Skizz: I was 100% with Impulse, you’re absolutely right, but he cut into reactor and I went up towards upper engine. Avo: I did see Skizz in north engine. Joker: So you cut Impulse and then went up? Skizz: Okay! Well, you know what, don’t make me do it, Mister Joker! You’re adding all these extra words. Joker: Do what? You’re gonna kill me? Skizz: No, I- I could not be more- I’ve been playing with you a while. I have kind of a- It’s not fair, I- I’ve been playing with Joker for a while. This is how he talks when it’s him. Joker: What?! No it’s not! Skizz: And there goes the high pitched voice. Like a recipe. It’s like a RECIPE with you. Joker: You’re getting me confused with Impulse.

...

Chim: So we’re voting for Poptart? Wait- Poppy: No! I FOUND the body. Chim: Oh. But how do we know you didn’t CREATE the body?

...

Zloy: It’s like rock-paper-scissors. Skizzleman beats Joker, Impulse beats Skizzleman, Sausage beats… uh… what’s-his-face. Logic. Logic: What’s-his-face? What’s-his-face?!

...

Avo: There’s a green body! Mister Joker in electrical, just as I went into electrical to do my electrical tasks. Chim: That’s pretty sus. Skizz: That’s what he gets! Sausage: Self-report. Poppy: Self-report for sure. Avo: It is not a self-report. I can put my hand on my Avomancian heart and say it was not I. Skizz: Wooow, that was diggin’. Pearl: Very sus. Zloy: Yeah, I was about to advocate that there’s no reason to self-report on the first kill of the game but you changed my mind single-handedly. *votes* Skizz: Whoa, Zloy! We need a little bit more. Little bit more.

...

Avo: I’ve never been so hurt in all my life getting voted on that. Skizz: It was just Zloy.

...

Skizz: I don’t wanna wrong Avo again. Avo: I’d be very disappointed if you wronged me again, Skizz. Impulse: What if I wrong you? Cuz I saw you and Logic take off towards electrical together. Zloy and I were still chilling, dumping trash. Avo: I was dumping trash with you, Impulse! For goodness sake! Impulse: Yeah, then you and Logic ran off together and you killed him. Chim: Wait, what about trash? Impulse: Avo just called Logic trash because that’s who he killed. He was taking out the trash, you heard it.

...

Pearl: Make sure to vote, Chim. Chim: I did. I voted for “skip”. Whoever that guy is, he’s super sus all the time.

...

Zloy: So it was a double kill, which means that we’re operating with people who are really, really comfortable being around one another. Chim: Or there’s a sniper. Zloy: A WHAT? Chim: A sniper. You know… like, a long-barrelled gun that shoots bullets at a long distance. Zloy: We’re on a SPACESHIP! Chim: That’s a good point. I’m getting too immersed.

...

*Skizz and Pearl win as imposters* Zloy: Hey, remember when I said it’s competent people and my idea was that it was Skizz and Pearl because they were the only ones left who are competent? *everyone immediately protests*

...

Zloy: Double kill by electrical. SPARKS were flying. Joker: If I get imposter, I’m killing you first, Zloy.

...

Chim: I did a scan in medical. Impulse: Oh yeah? How much did you weigh? Chim: I don’t wanna talk about it. Impulse: What’s your blood type? Chim: What blood type is not sus?

...

Zloy: Chim walked right past a body. Chim: Oh I did? OH! That WAS a corpse, wasn’t it? I thought it was, like, a pet. Literally, no joke, I thought it was a pet. I didn’t even- Zloy: I’m completely certain that you are a crewmate and I still want to throw you out of an airlock right now.

...

Zloy: We had fun! Let’s go to medbay with everybody. It’ll be fun. You can watch your friends get undressed and scan themselves.

...

Skizz: Maybe when you undressed for your scan, Chim, Zloy saw something that you don’t want him to tell the world about. Chim: Well, I mean… ;)

...

Joker, getting voted out: Well, that’s rude.

...

Chim: You can’t spell Sausage without ‘sus’. Skizz: Are you saying Sausage is a… SAUSpect?

...

Skizz: I think he wanted a piece of the Skizz. He wanted a Skizz sandwich! Logic: Skizz, I would never do something like that to you! Never! Skizz: I was your first kill, homie.

...

Chim: I have a body to report! Zloy: Boy do you. Chim: What? Why would you say that, Zloy? Zloy: Nothing. Chim: You know about a body? Zloy: I’ve just been staring at your butt for most of this round. Chim: Yeah, why’ve you been following me? Zloy: I’ve been following you because I needed a buddy. *later* Pearl: So what we’re getting at is it’s either Zloy or Sausage? Chim: No, I don’t think it was Zloy cuz he was honestly on my booty the whole time. It was sus but wasn’t THAT sus.

...

*Avo kills Impulse and Skizz immediately walks in* Skizz, singing to the tune of Bad Romance: Whoaa whoaa whoaaaaa, your killer, he is Avomance. Pearl: What happened? Skizz: I walked into reactor as Avo is walking out and there’s bloody footprints as he’s walking away from the body. Zloy: I appreciate how extra you are.

...

Zloy: Look, you can always trust a man who is not afraid to sing Lady Gaga. That man has nothing to hide.

...

Joker: I found Poptart’s body in… Chim: In the cereal aisle? Joker: Yeah, in the cereal aisle. Haha. Um… Yeah, I found- Avo: THAT was sincere (/s)

...

Impulse: I do feel kinda bad sussing [Avo] last round too but- I mean, he KILLED me! So hey. Avo: You deserved it, Impulse.

...

Pearl: Could someone kill me? I haven’t been killed yet.

...

Chim: Where’s the body? Joker: It’s where you left it.

...

Joker: You were chasing me and then luckily, someone put up the doors and blocked you from getting to me. I also watched you stand on a vent, change your mind, and go the other direction. Chim: How do you know I changed my mind? You can’t see anything through my little spacesuit. And I was following you cuz you looked like a pro with your little party hat. I thought maybe you were going somewhere cool and I wanted to check out where you were going. Joker: You’re a horrible liar. I don’t even know you but you’re a bad liar.

...

Skizz: Lemme tell you something there, Pearly Pop. I know that you loved killing me; I know you did. So I want you to know HOW you killed me. See, what you did was- I was wiring the ship. ‘Kay? I was saving lives, I was busy saving lives. You punched me in the head and I turned around and looked at you and you shot me right in the face. That was the animation that showed. Pearl: That’s great :D I love it.

...

*vote ties between Chim and skipping* Skizz: Oh my gosh! Zloy: We were ALMOST free, everyone.

...

Skizz: I’m done. Is anyone else done? Joker: I finished my tasks again, Skizz. Are you proud? Skizz: I AM proud of you! Joker: Look at me doing tasks! Skizz: I’m impressed! Joker: Thanks, man :D

...

*Zloy’s body is reported* Avo: There’s a dead Russian outside navigation.

...

Zloy: The reason [Impulse and Pearl] are so good as imposters is specifically because they know when to shut up.

...

Avo: We don’t know that Pearl wasn’t a killer. Joker: Well, how do we know YOU’RE not a killer? Avo: You have my word as an English gentleman, obviously. Joker: You can’t fool me with your fancy accent.

[unproduciblesmackdown]

here’s the matter of fact text post re: i guess i achieved the goal of an intermittent thing i’d do where i’d try to find anyone online talking about the ‘weird’ experience i have with masturbation which is, inherently, not exciting or anything but it’s like, even if i just Know of course it’s not just me, i want to like, hear someone else talk about anything similar ever, b/c so far it’s just a text post i saw once and can’t ever rediscover and someone talking about their experience that stems from an inapplicable physical trauma so....Yay, seeing as it’s been years i’ve been like “seriously though” lmao  

i was like Lol @ myself b/c i was like “man after i try for like 30 sec to crank it it a) doesn’t go anywhere hardly and b) i lose interest Way fast and it’s like mildly annoying” and so i thought about that post that’s like [me after sex: well that was a waste of my goddamn time. anyway back to speedrunning] but that’s me after a halfhearted attempt to masturbate and not really getting anything out of it anyways lmaoo like. it’s okay or i wouldn’t even bother fairly regularly but also it tends to end with like, me going off on a distracted tangent for even a moment and it can just hit an absolute brick wall like okay i don’t even have the Interest in continuing with this anymore like i might’ve had before starting like Well That Was A Waste Of My Goddamn Time Anyway Back To [whatever it is that i do]

and then like either that same night or the next my dreams had the audacity to get deeply uncomfortable for no reason like. all i do is have Anxiety Dream Themes thrown together where like. for example as i write this, two nights ago i had a dream segment about “i’m on vacation at the beach” but it was all Anxiety b/c it’ll all be about how i can hardly visit said beach coz i keep getting sidetracked at the hotel or w/e while i’m Trying to visit it while i still can, and last night i had the same Theme but trying and failing to ride roller coasters (which i Enjoy irl) and like, the beach one in particular recurs not Too infrequently lmao where i’m surprised by the rarity of something like “you’re at the beach and it’s fun” lol.......i don’t have anything i’d call a nightmare too often but Anxiety / a somewhat threatening/worrisome situation is like, fairly constant lol, with some occasionally more neutral stuff and a really rare Fun Dream but anyways it was still Bizarre that my dreams pitched me “you’re Someone who i guess is dating this abstract Partner and the scenario is you feel obligated to have sex with them” and it was weird like, woke up the next day like “why did my brain drag me through this deeply unpleasant dream situation” like. not totally unheard of for my dreams to touch on a Scene ft. sex and/or physical intimacy and even on occasion it’ll be an “i’m (or whoever i am as a maybe semi-abstract First Person camera character lol maybe ft. some particular concept attached to the ‘role’) having some sexual encounter and it’s Fine or enjoyable” but it’s generally fleeting As Per Usual Dream Structure and it’s like why was this one that sucked like, particularly dragged out by those usual dream standard’s, come on

anyways so going “haha i’m living the Waste Of My Goddamn Time thing” and “well thank you to my own brain for a bizarre and unpleasant experience while i’m just trying to be passed tf out” i was like “let’s look up again why not only can i not seem to orgasm but also like even expecting a way lower level of stimulation still Disappoints sometime like why do i bother” and yeah after first going the “does anyone Never manage to Not slam into a brick wall / basically completely lose interest all at once or practically all at once even and it all goes back to zero even if you started at like maybe a 1 or 1.5 and sometimes it happens with going down a random mental track” route i interestingly got some cis guys going “yeah hate when that happens on occasion” but yeah by now i had of course given up on “can i come at this from an [experiencing sensory input and processing from an autistic angle] angle” like. idk still interested in that of course lmao but god is searching for it a bit exhausting. but yeah after i threw in an [-erectile] search modifier i got was like oh a result on a site about asexuality re: masturbation, why didn’t i think of That angle. idk but here we are

informative stuff but the comments section where people who wanted to read an [about: masturbation] on a site About asexuality were talking about their experiences was like. i had mentioned how it was Enlightening that one person said I Do Not Enjoy Orgasms lol like i have not really heard that angle vs “you might not enjoy sexual stimulation” and/or “you might not be able to orgasm” but not you Can orgasm but you Might Not Even Like It Really like. the person said yes they got the Peak Of Intense Pleasure out of the orgasm but not so much any kind of afterglow and felt like they get dropped back to where they were before even trying to masturbate (aka. square zero again lol) and just yeah outright mentioned Not Enjoying it and another person replied like Yep it’s like that for me too.........already i’m like man i don’t even approach anywhere near an orgasm Ever but man would not be surprised if, even if i theoretically was capable of the physical experience, it would be the same as this way lower level Waste Of My Goddamn Time deal lol.......it’s Hilarious too that like. say “being at all in the mood to try to spank it” is a Square/Level 1, i feel like yeah most of the time i’m only getting this shit going to a 1.5, maybe a 2 or 2.5 if we’re on fire......very very very rarely have i been like “hey that was like, a 3 or some shit, damn” and honestly it’s not like oh so that ruled and is motivation to continue b/c like. the Surprise of it throws me off and it’s not necessarily that Great a surprise, more just like, jeez, idk, it feels like A Bit Much that basically registers as Tension where i’m hardly encouraged to keep it up like, makes me wonder if that’s a Sensory Processing Thing aka how sometimes i try to get any more in depth info on the logistics of Experiencing Sexual Stimulation re: also being autistic and the variety of ways that can unfold (i do know that like. the Sensory thing apparently can sure be a factor in either direction, i.e. might cause some ppl to really not enjoy sexual stimulation Or to like, super enjoy it. allistic ppl who might realize “thinking sex is awesome” is “”normal,”” brilliant.....like u didnt also “realize” that stims like fidget cubes and weighted blankets can be enjoyed “”normally”” like. still having a diff experience here and shut it) and i remember one time i was like “c’est la vie i will purchase a vibrator (and i got a second, external one as some deal going on)” and it was just a No Go b/c. it didn’t feel “bad” in that it was not necessarily like, yep here’s some sexual stimulation, but it was like, overwhelming in a Not Good way, yet also not physically painful, and i realize vibrators are made w/ different intensities and i definitely got Mildest ones so it wasn’t that

anyways like yeah #tbt to a time i really gave it a go (vibrator-less) for truly just short of two solid hours......plenty of that was me at Square Zero and getting back to level 1 alone (aka like. feeling Any positive response at all lmao) was kind of an achievement and maybe there was some 1.5 or 2 in there but it wasn’t like i felt that motivated and Just Keeping At It was not necessarily helping so. that was a waste of my goddamn time

can’t really remember what i was doing differently the last time i kicked things up to maybe a solid 2-3 Zone for truly like One Moment lol.....think i was just getting a little more hands on (since usually a spike in intensity makes me go “[?? / !!] whoa :/” and i lose Any momentum and/or “progress”) and that spike in intensity made me go [?? / !!] Whoa :/ and it didn’t matter, just got back to zero as always, and it’s not like these “Achievements” are “Enlightening” where i’m then like wow everyone’s right, really Trying with this shit pays off like lol. i still make a cursory effort but really just to burn off that Level 1-ness if anything like. kinda like “yeah neat here we go” but like. probably literally a minute or two later it’s like well Anyways.......another fun detail is that it’s not Always like “oh i got off on some mental sidetrack and losing focus = losing like All of even this low level of arousal and im back at zero” like, i might be in the middle of things and Lose Interest even while i’m currently experiencing a nonzero level of “yep this is some sexual stimulation” lol but it’s just like smh Whatever @ it......like, on the one hand the Tension of the stimulation gets in its own way, but if i entirely lose that then it’s like well okay this isn’t gonna go anywhere, may as well stop

so anyhow here’s the Particular Comment where i was like “wow this is so similar to #me that i guess i’ve finally found Someone Talking About It* (*however it goes for me)”

i can’t say i’ve done the Holding My Breath thing on Purpose but now sometimes i do notice i do it (and have probably Been doing it) lol like oh there i went and Exhaled in a [was holding my breath] way lol coz like they say there with the Loss Of Any Tension and the Square Zero (Not Even Square One) thing like yeah lmao. and very same with the Five Minutes Max thing b/c yeah it really can be even less than One Minute sometimes before it’s like yeah square zero or just i lose enough interest anyways, getting bored like they say, ugh like it’s a brief description obviously lmao but i’m like god well there it is i guess, the [i know it’s not Just Me experiencing this like this but i’d still fucking like to find anyone else actually talking about it] account For Once Finally, thanks for putting it out there, Disappointed and a lil bored

naturally there are also ppl in the comments talking about how masturbation is an enjoyable thing for them and particular tips there but like it is Hilarious to me how a) some people orgasm easily or like. orgasm if they put effort into masturbation lmaooo like fucking imagine. and b) idk it’s like well i’m sure i’ve made hundreds of attempts and not even any Near Misses, it is simply like, not happening and c) yet at the same time Like This Commenter it’s like “well is there just another way of doing it i somehow haven’t hit on” like naturally i have to wonder like well idk maybe it’d be diff with a sexual partner b/c yknow, the same stimulation from Someone Else vs Yourself, and yet d) ha ha of course i haven’t had sex which people Don’t think of as Not A Joke lmao i referred to this fact abt myself with some casual humor to someone and my temper flared up when that was later taken as a Cue for someone who is not me to jokingly reference it (by Temper Flaring i mean i got annoyed enough to go Do Not Do That e.g. the post that’s like “[asserts one boundary] i’m not a people pleaser anymore i’m actually a huge cunt now”) and i probably shouldn’t feel like i have to “justify” this as well somehow other people have probably tried to Make A Move re: me but i have not been into it like well, what if nobody had ever been Interested that i knew of, that would be fine too, but. i am aware that ppl think of this as a joke still lmao, and i have to say that. im already doing letters like a) b) c) aren’t i but whatever, starting over a) well i haven’t had All the opportunity in the world as i have at various points (but basically continuously) for various reasons been pretty isolated and b) idk i have not had all these signs that point to me wanting to have sex with people exactly lmao but it’s like, c) even if i go “well maybe there’s Exceptions out there or Situations That Will Be Conducively Different Than The Limited Range Of Ones I’ve Had So Far” it’s like, okay, i could still just continue to feel “nah :/” re: any “opportunity” that ever presents itself or whatever. it is all very abstract for me anyways, so it’s like, whatever. but i’m also not the most Glad to discuss it b/c idk a lot of this stuff i know is like A Joke including how i’m still simmering with resentment from a year ago or more over some Tweet i saw trying to dunk a meme about how asexuals are Anti-Psychology like, that’s an entire Other Essay there but needless to say for one thing i just pre-resent people hearing “could being autistic factor into the particular experience i have losing interest / arousal so easily (and inevitably as it’s big time primary anorgasmia around here)” and going “aha that makes sense b/c being ace means there’s something Dysfunctional going on cuz Lbr and bieng autistic means being a Fucked Up version of an allistic person and your autistacity is going to fuck up things about you which ought to function properly” like well that feeds right into itself in a loop and i hate it. and i know the whole “hehe someone who hasn’t had sex is a loser” thing is way engrained in there lmao ppl throw that punchline out all the time and like, idk, see the (i’m autistic) thing like it’s not like this is an unprecedented concept or the only front on which im like “i Know this is a thing ppl negatively judge in general but i also Know i do not buy into that or feel bad about it” like i do not personally consider myself cringe and fail for not having had sex ever and do not consider that Premise that someone is a joke for it to be true re: anyone but at the same time i know that this whole Awareness that people are shitty about it is frustrating to me lol. plus i think it is getting into the Entire Thing where concepts as broad as Maturity and Humanity At Its Most Complex And Worthwhile are considered intrinsically linked to romance and sex, which is something that i am somewhat self-conscious of being aromantic and [having never had sex and it could well be that i will not ever have sex even if The Opportunity(tm) is there] and i know it is frustrating to me b/c sometimes when i start to even talk about “i have not had sex yes im aware this is like (spit take) what a nerd, Sure” b/c i will easily cry out of frustration like 5 seconds in lol. which i cry easily enough but Usually getting teared up b/c i feel Hyped Up / Enthusiasm for something lmfao.......anyways plenty of tangents to go down here but my point is shoutout to the other person for also never orgasming and just being bored with masturbation if anything

and also to the people who were like “i can have / have had orgasms but i don’t actually enjoy it” like considering the way that [not like i experience anything even close to an orgasm but there is sometimes An Increase in arousal achieved, either a tiny raise in the Level or on occasion a bit of a kick which is mostly like “whoa tf chill out”] is overall Underwhelming even if there is Any enjoyment in it and the whole Back To Square Zero (Not Even Square One) thing re: the entire lack of afterglow they mention and it’s like well that kinda feels like parallel experiences here lmao. which tbh is like. makes me care even less with like Humorous Annoyance at the fact that ppl are out here simply able to have orgasms and to have access to that just by like yep here i go masturbating lmaooo like okay

anyways idk how to Conclude this lmfao. Fun Fact i have hc’s about how winston billions who is autistic experiences sexual stimulation (he gets the Really Enjoys It kind of sensory processing time here lol) but i suppose the easiest simplest one to explain is the “remember the Tayston Crying Sex drawing, the idea is that things can be kinda overwhelming while still being Good if it’s handled right by his partner (or himself ig lol) and he can tear up as sort of an overflow thing” like well you probably already knew that was connected to the broader whole of Winston Billions Autistic Hc’s but in case you didn’t: it is

Behind The Mask

It had been a bad day. A really bad one, because some bullies had gotten a little too cocky and Harley had seen them trip Peter in the hallway before they grabbed him and stuffed him into the nearest locker. The older teen had pounced on them and a few blows were exchanged while Peter pulled himself out of his prison before he had stopped Harley and dragged him away. He didn't want his adoptive brother getting into trouble in the first week of school. Especially on his behalf. So he grabbed their discarded belongings, shouted a goodbye to Ned, and wrestled Harley out of the school building before any faculty members could stop them.

The first half of their walk home passed in tense silence as Harley prodded at his busted lip and cut cheek, but it was broken as soon as they got off at their stop at the subway station.

"Why did you let them do that?" Harley asks coldly. "Why haven't you said anything to Dad and Stephen?"

Harley wasn't close to the sorcerer despite what the man had done for him when he first arrived, and wouldn't call him by anything but his name. Peter suspected part of the reason the other teen wouldn't refer to Stephen as 'mom' was not only because he wasn't close to the doctor, but maybe because he felt it would be an insult to his mother's memory. Peter kind of understood, but he didn't really remember his mother so the guilt of giving that role to Stephen had passed over a short time. From the stories Ben and May had told him though, Peter was sure his mother wouldn't have minded. Just like Laura and Maggie didn't mind it when their kids called Stephen 'mom' too.

"Last time Mom and Dad found out about a bully, Mom almost ripped out their parents throats and Dad threatened to sue. Besides, it's better me than some other kid." Peter adjusts his backpack and looks over at Harley with a 'What are you going to do' look, but startles when he finds the other boy glaring at him.

"What kind of excuse is that?"

"I can heal way faster than anyone else and it doesn't even happen every day."

"Are you serious?" Harley asks angrily. "Tell-"

"No!" Peter interrupts. "If Mom or Dad freak out then I freak out and it's just so much easier if they don't know. They haven't seriously hurt me so there's no reason!"

Harley scoffs. "No reason. So stepping in to defend you was a waste of my time?"

"...sort of?" The vigilante waves his hands wildly when his adopted brother frowns. "Not that I don't appreciate it because I do! Just...I heal faster."

"You said that."

Harley huffs and they walk into the tower's lobby as soon as they reach the building, and they step into the private elevator that takes them directly up to the family floor. As soon as the elevator doors open when it reaches their destination, Stephen was waiting in front of it with an ice pack.

"Whoa...your sixth sense is crazy accurate." Peter says as the sorcerer presses the pack to Harley's cheek. 

"It's just a scratch. No big deal. I can take care of it myself." The older teen grumbles but makes no move to brush Stephen away.

"I'd like to make sure." The doctor says in a no-nonsense tone, and leads Harley over to the kitchen table.

As soon as the teen sits down, Stephen opens a small portal to grab the first aid kit from the master bathroom and he pulls a chair up in front of Harley to sit in. The sorcerer didnt bother using magic to steady his hands since it wasn't necessary. No stitches were needed. Just a bit of antiseptic and a bandage.

"I thought we told you to say something if bullies continued to harass you." The doctor speaks softly, but with a hint of disappointment.

Peter swallows thickly. "Who said anything about bullies?" He ignores the look of 'I told you so' that Harley shoots in his direction as Stephen looks over at him.

"Peter. I am a doctor. I know what the damage from a right hook looks like when I see it."

"It's no big deal." The younger teen mumbles.

"Tell that to my fat lip." Harley grumbles.

Peter glares at him. "I didn't ask you to defend me!"

"What, you just want to me to stand and watch while they stuff you in lockers, push you down stairs, and trip you up?!" Harley shouts.

"I was handling it just fine!"

"Enough." Stephen raises his voice just enough to get their attention. "Both of you go up to your rooms and cool down."

Both teens huff and go up to their rooms, and ended up staying there for the rest of the night. Stephen had called them down for dinner, but both boys were being stubborn and refused to see each other. Peter's stomach had other ideas around midnight though. It screamed at him to feed it so he had no choice but to crawl down to the kitchen via the ceiling and take one of the two plates that Stephen had put in the fridge for him and Harley. Peter took the plate that was very obviously for him based on the amount of food piled on it and tears off the plastic wrap before throwing it in the microwave.

Peter spins in circles as he hangs from the ceiling on a web, waiting for his food to heat up, and then falls into a heap on the floor when he hears a shout of surprise.

"WHAT THE FUCK?!"

Peter hisses and rubs the back of his head where he had hit it on the island and he sits up to face a bewildered Harley. The other teen no doubt had the same idea as Peter and came down to eat, but got a surprise first. Harley's shout had woken their parents and both had come down to investigate the cause, one with a magical shield and the other with a gauntlet. When they figured out that nothing was amiss they looked between the teens in confusion.

"What the hell is going on?" Tony asks as he rubs his face.

Harley turns to them and motions toward Peter who was finally on his feet. "He's Spiderman?!"

Stephen and Tony look at each other and then back at Harley. "We thought you knew." The sorcerer says.

"Am I the only normal person here?!"

Tony folds his arms. "Harley, a lot of us are normal. The only superhumans are Steve, Bucky, and Peter. I won't even include Thor and Loki for obvious reasons."

Harley frowns. "Stephen has magic."

"I learned my magic." Stephen says calmly. "Tony, Natasha, Sam, Scott...they only have weapons or suits. Otherwise they're normal and they're just a few examples."

The microwave beeps loudly in the somewhat awkward silence that follows and Peter takes his food out before sitting at the table and practically inhaling his late dinner. Harley watches in minute fascination and then decides to get his own food and heat it up. Harley sits at the island with his own dinner once it gets hot and their parents return to bed with a roll of their eyes. Harley and Peter were still being stubborn and they weren't about to try anything this late at night. If they argued, they argued.

That didn't happen though. Harley actually grabbed his food and sat in the seat directly across from Peter and stares at his adoptive younger brother. "...now I know why you kept mentioning how fast you heal." He pokes at his chicken with his fork. "I sort of get it. You don't want to accidently hurt anybody...right?"

"Pretty much." Peter confirms quietly. "I can take what they do to me. Someone else though? Not so much."

Harley nods slowly and they eat their meal in silence. It was still a little strained, but definitely more comfortable than it had been just a couple of minutes ago. When Peter finally finished his food and got up to put his dishes in the dishwasher, he stopped and looked at Harley.

"For what it's worth, I appreciate that you defended me." The younger teen looks down at the floor. "Just...don't get into fights for my sake."

Harley scoffs. "No promises Spidey. You may look out for everyone else...but someone has to look out for you."

"That's what parents are for."

"And older brothers."

A small smile grows on Peter's face and he continues forward to put his dishes in the dishwasher. "At least try not to."

"Again. No promises." Harley replies with a grin.

Peter rolls his eyes and makes his way back up to his room where he flops into bed with a much happier stomach and falls asleep. The next morning, he startles awake when someone sits on his bed with a hop and he cracks one eye open to glare at the disturbance. Harley raises an eyebrow down at him with a smirk and Peter retaliates by throwing a pillow at his face. Harley pushes Peter to one side of the bed, the younger grumbling but moving so the elder teen can lay next to him with the thrown pillow.

"How long?" Harley asks.

How long had Peter been Spiderman?

"A couple of years. Since I was fourteen."

"Do you spit venom?"

Peter huffs into his pillow as he hugs it. "I don't spit venom, I don't lay eggs, I still don't know how far my webs go, and I can't summon an army of spiders."

"What can you do?"

"Crawl on walls...and my senses are dialed to eleven so I can smell the coffee that Dad is brewing and the pancakes Mom is making, I can hear Steve and Bucky coming up the elevator...oh yeah. I can stop a three thousand pound car going forty miles an hour."

"...badass." Harley sits up. "Did you say pancakes?"

Peter grunts in affirmation and Harley stands up and then turns to yank the blankets off of the vigilante.

"Dude..."

"Come on. We can have breakfast and then run some tests on your limits and what else you can do."

"Sounds like a chore." Peter groans.

"Maybe we can bribe Stephen into adding chocolate chips-" Harley starts until the bedroom door opens and Stephen smirks.

"No bribery needed. Breakfast is ready and I am not putting anything aside this time." The sorcerer says.

"Okay. I'm up. I'm up."

Peter rolls out of bed and follows Harley and Stephen down to the kitchen and immediately pulls some chocolate chip pancakes onto his plate. Stephen stops him after the fifth one so the other three can get their servings. Breakfast passed with normal conversation, and Peter found out that Steve and Bucky only came up to grab a few things before leaving again. Toward the end of breakfast though, Harley had asked Tony if they could help Peter test his limits and abilities and their father grinned.

"I've been meaning to do that so absolutely. Underoos, suit up." 

"Seriously?" Peter asks.

"As a heart attack."

"Don't joke about that Tony." Stephen says with a wince before sipping his tea.

Harley grins. "Can I shoot him with my potato gun?!"

Peter gawks. "No! What is wrong with you?!"

OH IM SO TORN RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!! dandelion is supposed to be actually good at his job but also the way THAT JOEY LEANED ON THE POLE? TH. OK. and THE FACT THAT HES PICKING UP THE FOOD THAT THEY THREW AT HIM.................................... classic dandelion. well actually okay hes supposed to be like, you know, mid-20s right now, this dandelion isnt a MASTER OF POETRY yet. he needs to evolve , like a pokemon. ... i like this scene just for the leaning on the wooden support and the fact that hes picking up. the food they threw at him. ALSO WAS HE GETTING PAID FOR THAT OR JUST ANNOYING PEOPLE???

h. he. APPROACHETH THE WITCHER. okay i like this, i like joey, i like cavill, lets see how this plays out. try not to throw up, geralt.

THE MOVEMENTS??????????? THE HAND GESTURE................ this is invoking the “i hate how camp straight dandelion is” emotion in me

JOEY STOP LEANING ON THINGS LIKE T HAT IM GONNA HAVE AN ANYEURISM. HE REALLY ACTS WITH HIS WHOLE BODY HUH

you can tell he loves this stupid fucking role huh. hes having fun you can tell.

ohhhhhh hes not blonde but they got the perfect fucking man for this

obviously not feeling too good about that punch because literally isnt geralts thing that he doesnt hurt the vulnerable? that was VERY out of character . also it was out of character for dandelion because dandelion would have CRIED or VOMITED you know how he is.

Jon: wow

Me: its about you. You know what is important

Robbie: my kids

Me: yeah And yourself. That's why we get a long and i know you don't need any one.

Robbie: you know how important my friends are to me and i left them all for you

Me: you know you didnt. You know my email.

MWII laughs heartedly

Me: hush it Matt. I only saw one kid and I know you guys had daddy's girl and mommys girl. Did you bring both?

Robbie: yeah you know I did

Me: so you had someone waiting at home for You when I saw you the first time?

Robbie laughs: she was with friends. See that's why i get you, you're so strict!

Me: yeah well when i got to my car I cried. You had me all fucked up.

Robbie: but why?!

Me: because you don't just strut into a Wal-Mart 900 miles from home like it ain't a thing.

Robbie: I know! I didn't!

Me: I know.

Robbie: but why did you cry

Me: because you made Me smile.

Robbie: wait what

Me: you made me laugh. But mostly because I knew.

Robbie: that I left? And i made you proud? Hey I ain't a kid. I'm a grown man!

Matt laughs

Me: shut up Matt. I know. A kid wouldn't know what to do.

Robbie: oh

Jesse: I see this thing between you too. Its different than me and her. You two. Im gonna cry. Its pure joy.

Robbie: happy to be alive. We made it. Sabrina, you did, too. That's why you cried. Because you knew I left And took both my kids. You knew you cared enough about me to teach it to me. And you cried for you. Me. And everyone in between. I'm a totally different man because of you. I thought i was good. I knew I was good. I thought I was deep. But you made deeper my thoughts, my joy, my temper. That's what I see you don't know. How much you impact others. You type and you stay angry and you fight and you fight and you will until you die. That's what you told me, now isnt it?

Me: yeah And I'm not finished.

Robbie: but almost. Dad?

Jesse: yeah I'm there. I see I know her because of you. They're different, don't you see, Sunny?

Sunny: yeah. I want to be happy too

Robbie: see there. That's what I mean. That's how Sabrina feels almost every day and the Annie. "But doesn't every body" that's what you used to say. I remember.

Me: I used to always think about that. You were the first person in a very long long time I talked to about happiness.

Robbie: well You did good. It stuck with me this while time and it changed my life completely. And I want to marry you

Me: I could say yes. [I try to skip MWII quickly] whoa shit your father is sitting there

Robbie: what's that got to do with anything?

Me: Idk he might try to compare dicks or something.

MWII: wow I think I'm embarrassed. I thought I was retro romance but he's good

Bobby: I'm telling you!

MWII: but she got babies!

Me: Matthew!

Bobby: like hes an annoying younger brother.

Jesse: well You can! You're Tarah's kid!

Robbie: mmm. Well what do you think, Sabrina?

Me: well we could date... Man it would be So nice just to have a turtle shell so I could just hide!

Robbie: no I'm for the whole thing

Kenny: no I've been trying to get her to get with me for months and I started years ago

Robbie: but see youre too busy you don't know how to make time for her or how t9 make her laugh

Jesse: is that true? He knows how to do thwt for you?

Me: yeah. Matt, quit! You're not about to be watching porn and youre gonna get blue balls all night!

Matt face palms: i hate myself

Jesse: well You are insane aren't you?!?!

Matt eagerly: uh huh. And i think you need to leave Robbie!

Jesse: he used to take my hat and throw it out the front door. Sabrina found 5 hats under the porch one day all belonging to me because obviously i wouldn't leave but my hat would stay!

Robbie: he's a little orphan and hasn't found anyone to love yet

Me: hes like a poltergeist.

Jesse: well this is really romantic.

Me: yeah it's a little strange isn't it? And he's your son and every thing to top it all off

Jesse: do you care?

Me: no its just unexpected. Like when I saw you at Wal-Mart, Robbie.

Robbie: yeah I know! You ran off!

Me: well i didn't mean to initially. I turned to tell Annabelle but she was gone.

Robbie: yeah but you did linger, we noticed. Well my daughter did

Me: I saw you running after me

Robbie: yeah well I didn't know your car

MWII: ohhhh shit.

Me: yeah I guess that makes sense. But then you got in your truck and i thought your daughter had gone in the store

Robbie: yeah she did.

Bobby: omg this is romantic!

Me: you run really fast. Like I thought I was crazy I was all no.. he probably went in the store. No one with that short legs can move that fast! And then disappear!!!!

Chuck: remember that ghost truck yesterday?

Me: that shit was funny.., i was all dam I thought it was a real truck... Then i got disappointed it was!

Robbie: is that what made you cry, that I disappeared?

Me: no you waited to run.

Robbie: well i told her what I was gonna do first.

Bobby: which was what? I'm on the edge of my seat.

Robbie: follow her home.

Bobby: to do what?

Robbie: tell her how I feel.

Me: O.O oh

Robbie: you're as lame as me. Hey dad. She used to do this shit to me. All sure and secure of herself and I would be all "oh" "but" "uhhh"

Me: he was cute tho.

Robbie: oh i bet. Cause you kept doing it.

Jesse: well go get her and bring her to me so i can place my hands on her head and bless her

MWII: well go on now, you know I don't want to marry you

Me: no Jesse! You just wanna suck what's left of my brain!!!

I decide to go out and smoke...

Jon: she looks like me when I was 10 ans ahe wanted to save me from the kid factory and I said "this lady loves me too much!!"

(Jesse did)

Out side:

Me: Chuck

Chuck: do what you want

Eric: it's been over a year

Me: well see I been busy. And i was just telling Jesse and the kids that i don't need any one.

Bobby: but romance!

Me: but I'm not like that.. I've pretty much always been single

Bobby: well that's stupid if you believe in true love and you know MWII ain't gonna do that for you. He just tries to protect you. Thats all.

Jesse: you look sudden but you already knew. He did everything you wanted. Did what -- did you promise?

Robbie: yeah.

Jesse: see thats all I have to say to you.

Robbie: Well shit Sabrina don't forget to breathe!

Me: oh! Well shit!

Jesse: I don't talk about money with strangers that fuck my son

Me: how about kids you baby sit and encourage you to take back your living ane abused kids like Jon?

Jesse: that's your kid, too. I'm bored. Hurry up and get married so i have something to do.

Me: brain wssh us? Do our laundry? Dirty dishes? Cook us food?

Jesse: are you not an adult?

Me: half the time lately im five or 6 why? Dont act like you're not 22.

Jesse: don't tell my real age. People can do math you know.

Me: ok, well Robby. Let's hang out, I don't have time to schedule a wedding

Robbie: oh yes you do!

MWII: sabrina goes what?

Me: no I was just gonna argue. No open ended questions, you know I stand my ground.

Robbie: oh friendly banter!

Me: well why aint you called or anything?

Robbie: well You look busy! And i just been working. And to be truthful I did need my time, you were right.

Me: well You do run really graceful.

MWII: shut the fuck up Sabrina you're just a nerd. Just say it Jesse you know you want to

Jesse: I can't! I'm shocked and pleased! Im surprised she actually found someone to love.

Bobby: now Sabrina don't cry

Me: wow that's a tall order! It's easier to get married!

Jesse: she's a tough cookie, and it would be one of my kids. I think that's pretty amazing.

Me: you know me and the bestie talk about this...like men living on their own to get to know themselves before even thinking about marriage

Eric: well now its time!

Jesse: I was wondering why you get along so well. I remember the first time you saw her, your eyes lit up with joy. No not at your parents in Okmulgee

Me: oh Oklahoma. When I was walking in the street with tiffany

Jesse: yes

Me: and you hid your eyes

Robbie: i thought they were making fun of me and i was already married a month and a few days And unhappy. I didn't want you to deal with that

Me: then I saw you at UNM after i gradh9and went to have lunch with the bestie.

Jesse: how do you remember that?

Me: because both times I said how did hot and sexy get on this Earth and both times he ran away too fast. And I've only said that about him.

Jesse: O.O well go on get married then!! Sunny you don't need to meet him!! That's what I prayed for! I put that in Mr Gloom for her!! God works fast, doesn't he!!!.?

Me: yeah. I didn't put anything in it, I couldn't think of anything. I knew I work too hard not to be a success. So thank you.

Jesse: well aren't you a little bitch? Seriously. You didn't put anything?

Me: I didn't.

Jesse: you sent me the link and you didn't?

Me: I didn't get to it. I was busy trying to fix everyone else's.

Jesse: like you tried to fix his.

Me: i should put wrinkles tho, I noticed my frown lines are deep and solid

Jesse: there's always next year

Me: i figured if I just smiled more, they would go away on their own. So it looks like you already put it in for me this year.

Bobby: well fucking shit! Im gonna cry!

Just about every one else: its about time you catch up!!

Bobby breaths it back in: there I'm caught up... O no I'm not!

Robbie: well You know you could be kissing and they will pucker up.

Jesse: looks like I did it for you two times.

VR EXPERIENCE FLAILYNESS!DD!

* the staff were so nice to a newbie like me! I think i gave them a good giggle with all my over the top reactions lol!

* they have these pod things you go in and then it MOVES AROUND oh god i was just squeaking with delight and/or fear every five seconds!

* there was a spaceship tour/rollercoaster thing that was my first game. I just went WOOO and AAAA and i dont have much else to say except that! Im still going woo and aaa in my soul!!!

* the next pod experience was a horror house with a creepy mannequin clown dood calles Jinx. I am SO weak to horror so with that and the sheer OH WHOA factor of the rolleecoaster pod i was totally gasping and screeching and giving the attendant guy a great show XD afterwards he was real nice and chatted with me about how he was totally scared too when he tried it, so i wouldnt be too embarassed. There was a REALLY WHOA BIT where the game spawns the puppet guy in JUST out of your peripheral vision! He's actually riding the ride WITH you for 2 minutes but you only realise that subtle "something is wrong here" feeling is HIM when he leans forward and draws attention to himself. It was so effective cos it was a real slow long stretch of time when you were waiting for the jumpscare and then YOU DO IT TO YOURSELF by noticong something in the picture changed! So good!! The bit that the attendant got the most spooked by was a similar moment where puppet guy directly interacts with the ride later on, where he jumps up and reaches out WAY CLOSER THAN YOU WOULD HAVE THOUGHT WAS EVEN POSSIBLE IN THIS 3D ENGINE but then obviously he cant really touch you so he pulls his hand away at the last second. But then he trolls you by ripping apart the rollercoaster cart and sending you careening into a surreal bendy mirrors room! It was a really fun experience and i kinda ended it feeling like this was the spirit of vr? Like this game was literally alive, i literally just visited some mischievious yet nice spirit who really enjoys scaring people and is happy he finalky got a job where he can do it in a benign way and get paid. "Humans are the real scary ones if they enjoy this as much as i do!" Thanks Jinx i really did enjoy your horrifying doom time

* TOCH A SHARK SIMULATOR!! there was this super realistic oceab exploration and i was so sad it was a non playable tour application thing cos i really wanted to touch the shark. I was flailing my hands everywhere going OOO THIS FISH NO THIS FISH AAA like seriously man please make that one into a full game!!! It was so good even just for a short preview! It was so cool it was made from real documentary foitage!! I didnt really learn anytjing tho cos i was too distracted going WOO AAAA! And i think the shark and giant squid were supposed to be scary but i was totally DEAD OF THE CUTENESS! It was so realistic like i could really pat a critter nobody can ever pat! Please make more vr games where you emotionally bond with rare critters and/or totally imaginary animals. Give us the cuddle experiences we deserve!!!

* i was a lot worse at the actual playable games cos i was still getting used to the experience and the complex controls were hard to work while being distracted by so much sheer WOO AAA! I did the best at this shooting gallery thing, it was so fun and funny cos you had to dramatically dodge with your entire body and point your plastic guns all dramatic style! I bet i was a good advertisement to the people at the counter, cos i was totally going full ham! Felt embarassed people were watching and i had no clue lol! Oh and i liked that it had a lazer katana option for people who are bad at shooting. It had much weaker attack thk so i never got the time bonus. I made it pretty far ro stage 14 i think? Feel pretty proud!

* there were some other more complicated games with more controllers but i ended up just havibg no clue how to manage it all at once. There was this gigantic plastic gatling gun thing and a full fake car setup with gearsticks and stuff. I failed that one extra hard cos i have no clue how to drive even without complicated vr, lol! It was hilarioud to see me stuck on the same wall going back and forth and repeatedly smacking it, i think i enjoyed failing more than succeeding! XD

*and then i just messed around in that job simulator game i saw everyobe doing in the example vids. I already knew how it goes so i just experimented with breaking everything and throwing fire extinguishers at everyobe in the restaurant while shovelling infinate bread into my mouth.

In summary i think the operator dude thinks i'm insane, especially cos i turned up in a cape! But he had a good laugh and i just felt even better kbowing the people in the shop enjoyed themselves as much as i did! And i got a gift card to give to my sister so i hope she enjoys it too. (Or if its not her kind of thing, she can give it to a friend)

U is for Undelivered

by harrison_prince

I just got home from the hospital after what has to be the strangest Christmas I've ever had. It was absolutely terrible and frankly bizarre.

Christmas Eve came along, and the kids were hyperactive all day. They couldn't wait for Santa to come, and their energy was amplified by the inches upon inches of snow that were falling outside.

The weather channel said the snow wouldn't end until the day after Christmas, so it was going to be a very white Christmas.

My wife and I convinced the kids that Santa was on his way and that if they didn't go to bed by 8pm, he'd miss the house. They ran straight to bed, terrified they might lose their presents if they fought us. Oh how I love the threat of a reverse burglar.

There was still a little wrapping to do, but we watched a movie until the kids actually fell asleep around 9. Once we confirmed the sugar plums twerking in the heads, we went to work in our bedroom, door closed to hide the sound of crinkling paper and the rip of tape.

We were interrupted mid-wrap by the sound of our doorbell.

"Shit," I hissed, praying the kids wouldn't wake up and assume "wow! Santa wants to visit with us!"

"I'll get it," I told my wife, walking out of the room. Who the hell rings a doorbell after 9 on Christmas Eve?

A strong gust of snow-filled wind assisted me when I opened the front door. My bare toes recoiled from the cold, and I peered between the door and the frame.

"Hey!" Uncle Rob and Aunt Kay stood in the doorway, gift bags and suitcases filling their arms.

"Whoa! Hi!" I laughed, throwing the door open. They stomped in, kicking the snow off their shoes in the entryway. I shuffled around them to shut the door.

"What're you guys doing here?" I asked. They were supposed to be on vacation in Hawaii for the holidays.

"Delivering presents! Ho-ho-ho!" Rob chuckled.

"Keep it down," I laughed. "The kids are asleep and waiting for Santa."

I gave quick hugs to each of them and helped unload some of the bags from their arms.

"You can stick those under the tree," Kay said, putting down her suitcase.

My wife came out of our room to see what the commotion was about.

"Marla!" Kay squealed, opening her arms to my wife for a hug. Rob was Marla's brother, and our two families were close.

The two of them hugged and Marla asked the same questions I did.

"We decided we would spend Christmas Eve with you guys and then go on vacation," Kay explained. I nodded, happy they were here.

"We were just wrapping presents, if you want to get settled," I suggested, pointing a thumb to the spare bedroom.

"Nonsense! We can unpack later! We'll help you wrap," Rob said, tossing his suitcase unceremoniously into the spare room.

Marla was already ducking into our room. I could tell she wanted to finish wrapping and go to bed. It would be an early morning, after all. Their help would make wrapping go faster, so I accepted Rob's offer.

All of our work combined made the wrapping go quickly. Before we knew it, the job was done.

"How did you guys even get here through the storm?" I asked while we stacked presents under the tree.

"My truck made quick work of the snowstorm or not," Rob smiled, setting a sled with a bow behind the tree.

Kay was unpacking a few of their gift bags and lining our fireplace mantle with a whopping 26 snowglobes.

"You guys brought a lot of presents. Why didn't you mail some?" I asked.

"And trust the Post Office around the holidays? We were scared half of them would go undelivered. Instead, we decided to deliver them personally!" Kay exclaimed, setting the last snowglobe on the mantle.

I walked over to inspect the globes further. Kay moved in my way with a smile.

"Not so fast, peeker! These are still presents and you need to wait until tomorrow."

I laughed and threw up my hands.

"Okay, okay! I never knew you guys collected snowglobes, that's all."

"We don't, but you do now," Rob winked. I chuckled. The snowglobes were a gag gift, obviously.

We parted ways and went to bed.

Marla rolled over in bed a few minutes after we got in.

"Steve."

I grumbled some unintelligible reply.

"I don't... Know how to say this..."

Her tone concerned me, so I flipped around to face her.

"What's wrong? Did I do something?"

"No, no," she said. "Rob is just acting... too... happy...?"

"Too happy? What do you mean? I would think they should be happy, hanging out with us for Christmas."

"Something's off I just can't place it."

I'm not an idiot. I know what "something feels off" means. It means you better investigate because something is going on.

Without explaining, I got out of bed and headed into the living room. Marla hesitated, then followed. I slipped into the lit room, Christmas tree glistening.

My first stop was the presents under the tree. I dug through the presents as quietly as I could, pushing our kids presents aside to look at Rob and Kay's for us.

The gift bags were tucked far under the tree, and I had to really stretch to reach them. Why had they tucked them so far away?

When I fished one out by one finger, I sat up and peered inside. Marla looked over my shoulder.

A single snowglobe stood upright at the bottom. I pulled it out, only to find it empty. There was water in the glass orb, but no scenery or glitter or anything. The base was simple: just some polished metal making tripod-style legs.

"The snowglobes must be their joke gift," I said, telling my theory to Marla. There wasn't much else to say.

I slowly lowered the snowglobe back into the bag. There were still 3 more under the tree to inspect. Marla wandered to the mantle and skimmed her gaze over the snowglobes that were lined there.

"Steve," Marla whispered. I looked up and set the bag down. Marla motioned me to the mantle, and I stood.

The snowglobes on the mantle had the same kind of simple, metallic, tripod legs. The orb was empty except for a three or maybe four inch-tall waving spire at the bottom.

I squinted, and that's when I saw it. The spire wasn't a structure: it was a... person. A tiny person--a man--walking forward without going anywhere and his arms wrapped tightly around themselves as if he were freezing.

I reached a hand out and softly lifted the snowglobe. The man inside continued walking, even when I turned it upside down.

I looked along the mantle, trying to understand. Marla watched me, I could tell she was wondering what we should do.

"What are they?" She asked.

"I don't...know."

Should we wake them up and confront them? Why? Maybe these were animatronics or something similar?

Our decision was made for us. I turned around and suddenly Kay was between us and the tree. I yelped, then caught myself.

"I told you not to peek," Kay frowned. Marla instinctively moved behind me.

"We needed a drink so we came out here and ended up talki--"

I interrupted myself when a man walked into the room. I had barely caught a glance, but I knew. It was the man from the snowglobe I held. Somehow, I knew it was "Rob".

"Who the hell are you guys?" I asked with more bravery than I felt.

The two of them looked at each other. I knew before they moved that they were going to rush us. I tossed the snowglobe I held at them, hoping to distract them so I could grab the fire poker next to the fireplace.

They both scrambled after the globe, catching it before it fell to the wood floor. I reached the poker just as Marla grabbed another globe and threw it right onto the ground.

Kay burst into screams that turned into inhuman shrieks. She put her hands to her head, fingernails being pulled back into her fingers with the sound of elastics being pulled taunt. The hair on her head began to retract into her scalp, her arms grew... shorter. The skin and mass of her body began to swallow them up as if packing her body up to be smaller.

When she moved her hands away from her face, her eyes had been sealed behind skin, and her mouth was no longer there.

That was all the view I had before the man rushed me. He was so fast that I didn't process the attack in time. He punched me or kicked me, I'm not sure which, and I flew into the hallway, landing straight on my back but still clutching the poker.

Marla screamed and tried to shove every last globe off the shelf, but the man was on her in milliseconds and tossed her into the Christmas tree.

I got to my feet and ran into the room brandishing my weapon. Yelling, I ran at the man who stood in a ready stance, frowning at me.

I swung, and he moved out of the way so fast that there was never a chance that I'd hit him. Instead, my poker hit the mantle and bounced away. Recoiling from the vibrating collision, I looked at the row of globes. I made my decision and got ready to swing.

The iron was yanked out of my grasp by the man, who had sped over behind me. I was thrown off balance and took a few steps forward. I put a hand on the mantle, then grabbed a globe and spun around, holding it out and ready to drop.

"STOP!" I yelled.

The man was gone from where he had been, but the patter of quick footfalls that had been filling the air suddenly stopped. The man was near where Kay fell. The only sounds left were the sound of a balloon being stretched and snapped, and Marla struggling to untangle herself from the Christmas tree.

"Get out of my house," I growled, emphasizing the threat to drop the globe.

The voice that emanated from the man was malformed, like trying to talk mid-swallow.

"Give... me," he gurgled.

"Get OUT!" I yelled, my legs starting to shake.

"Steve!" Kay suddenly screamed in terror, and I looked down to find her wriggling out of what can only be described as an elastic, skin colored bag. She wriggled free, completely soaked, and tossed the bag across the room where it hit the wall.

Kay tried to stand, but couldn't and just crawled my way. I pointed the globe in her direction.

"Get back!" I threatened. Kay wasn't bothered by the threat to the globe.

"Steve!" She sobbed. "It's me! It's Kay!"

My body shook as I didnt know who or what to trust.

The bag against the wall answered my question. It began to rise up and wriggle. Kay shrieked and crawled behind me. The bag was close to where Marla was hiding behind the Christmas tree, so she leapt out of hiding and also got behind me.

The bag grew an arm, which reached towards us while it made a similar gurgling sound. The stretch of balloon latex material was loud. Another arm started to grow.

I didn't know what else to do. I dropped the snowglobe.

The man rushed forward, but he was too late. The globe shattered, and the elastic bag let loose another shriek, despite not having a mouth. This time it sounded like a man.

The guy was still charging and tackled me full force. I flew back into the brick of the fireplace and went out like a light.

Marla was the one to wake me up. The two... things had left. All of the snowglobes, even the pieces, were gone. She said the man had stared them down, daring them to move, while he gathered all of the globes into the same bags they had arrived in. He even took the ones under the tree.

The bag had regurgitated someone else when I broke the second globe. A man I didn't recognize. His hair was pasted down and soaked, and his clothes dripped with a saliva-textured fluid.

The bag reformed into another person while the man packed the globes away. Apparently it was a man this time. He helped intimidate Marla and Kay and the regurgitated man until they ran out the door with incredible speed.

Kay kept crying and sobbing, blubbering about never making it to Hawaii but not remembering how she had gotten here. Just a sudden pierce of light and she was crawling around in our living room.

The kids had been woken by the commotion, but thank God they were too scared to come and investigate. Marla held them tight while we decided what to do with two kidnapped but what seemed to be unharmed people. The back of my head was bleeding, so at the very least, I had to go to the hospital.

Marla was about to drive me there, taking the kids with us in case they came back while we were gone. Kay insisted on coming too, scared to be alone.

The new guy said he was going to find his own way home, and thanked us for getting him out. We shook hands as if we'd finished a business deal. It was a surreal feeling, already starting to not believe what had happened.

After the hospital, we came home to a package on the porch. I hefted it, and Kay recognized it. It was all of our Christmas presents from Kay and Rob.

It's so strange that one undelivered or late package could have helped us if it had arrived on time. It was supposed to arrive a week before Christmas. The note inside told us that they were sad they couldn't spend Christmas with us and the kids. If we had read that before "Rob" and "Kay" had shown up, we would have been a lot more suspicious.

I'm sharing this story because others may have had something like this happen. I already know it happened to the new guy.

with the voting gauntlet finished, its finally time for me to get started on my playthrough of FE4: genealogy of the holy war, as promised. i’ll be sharing my thoughts on it as i go along with the game since i know ppl have really been looking forward to that. thanks for your patience and sorry its taken me so long.

if you haven’t played this game yet and you don’t want it spoiled for you, you can blacklist #54462 to be extra safe, even though i will be keeping all of my thoughts as well as any spoilers tucked away under a read more. 

for those of you interested in playing the game for yourselves, here is a link to everything i used to get it all rolling. 

emulator (i used the 2nd to last link)

japanese ROM 

translation patch (instructions on how to use this are on the site)

with all that said, here are my thoughts and first impressions of FE4 so far.

whoa whoa slow down. one historical moment of noteworthy importance at a time.. i literally just started this game have mercy on me.

i don’t trust you, kurth. i don’t trust you and and i don’t trust your face.

and there he is. gotta say he looks pretty damn handsome in this for a 1996 game. he’s got the whole sailor moon villan/utena aesthetic working for him, 10/10.

ah yes, who could forget the YEET desert.

the man, the myth, the legend, sigurd himself. 

handsome? yes. DILF tier? debatable. they went a little too yaoi faced for my liking, but he’s definitely handsome. 6.5/10.

“im 11 so shut the fuck up”

S̶͢͞͡T̴̴͞Ŗ͏́͜Ǫ̶̢͞N̷҉G̕͞ ̶̕͘A͡͠͝N͝D̸͘͟҉ ҉́͟͏Ţ͟͢͡͞O͏̵͏͝U͜҉Ǵ̵̷̷͠H̨̢͜͢͞

not sure what i expected tbh. i never thought i’d say arden looks more handsome in heroes but here we are.

the movement arrow is kind of extra when you think about it. a least they were kind enough to make the range more clearly visible unlike FE1.

you know, i’d imagine graphics would be a turn off for many newer players. personally though, i love this aesthetic. it reminds me of shining force 1 which was honestly the game that got me into turn based in the first place, so this style is right up my alley.

imagine how fucking broken the fact that horses could move again after attacking would be in heroes. its practically a built in galeforce by default. horse emblem would be immortal.

rip in pepperoni, character i had literally no way of reaching in 1 turn.

of course marriage is the first thing on his mind, just like the european settlers ‘married’ the native americans. seems legit. 

i love me some older FE games, but this blatalant trend of “you are a helpless woman, therefore you are my prize” is one theme i could live without. not even FE7 is free of this sin. its unfortunately realistic of what would happen, sure, but im glad they did away with these kind of themes in the newer games. 

but wait! theres more!

troubadors can wield swords here which is very nice since they’re one of my favorite classes tbh.

the maps are definitely as massive as i expected, at least this game throws you a bone by taking multiple turns to burn down villages because really there’s no way you’re getting to them anytime soon.

so ive been playing for a bit now and i still have no idea how you’re supposed to see whether you can double or not, speed seems to be irrelevant to it, or at the very least its not the usual 5 point difference. 

i really can’t imagine someone going directly from awakening/fates to this and not being driven up a wall at this point. this is definitely one for the more advanced/veteran crowd.

update: it’s at least a 3 point difference.

update 2: more than a 1 point difference

there’s also the whole calculation of atk - def = damage that you have to do for yourself. similar to how echoes did it. i dont mind that so much it just takes some getting used to. i do prefer the streamlined experience of being shown exactly how much damage i’ll deal before combat since it just feels like a math lesson otherwise.

brigand: fucking burns a village right in front of sigurd’s face

well i didnt make it to this last one in time. hopefully i didnt miss anything important.

i was wondering why the enemies stand on top of the castle rather than in front of it, but now i have even more questions.

there’s also no way of reaching him, and i don’t feel like dragging literally the one character who isn’t on a horse down here to deal with this one boss so..

?? sieze the throne with... sword??

OHH

besiege: surround (a place) with armed forces in order to capture it or force its surrender; lay siege to.

literally the first time in my life i see this word, but it makes a lot more sense now obviously.

first you beseige then you seize. an added layer of complexity that wasn’t really needed but, i can see them possibly doing something fancy with this in a potential remake. it does add a level of realism though, like the castles aren’t just decorations on the map that the character stands in front of and walks into, but rather obstacles you have to overcome.

hey she’s he’s alive. also sigurd does not fuck around, noted.

great, castle siezed.. so what do i d-

castle #2: SURPRISE MOTHERFUCKER

oh my god there are multiple castles to deal with. i remember seeing this mentioned somewhere now that i think about it, probably in an ask or something but wow. you better set aside an afternoon, grab a snack, and strap in kiddos because this is gonna be a long ride.

and of course there are reinforcements why wouldn’t there be reinforcements.

also keep in mind, this is literally the prologue, not even the first chapter of the game yet. i think i hear the sound of multiple awakening-first fans rage quitting and going to find a youtube playthrough to watch instead.

its pretty obvious from arvis’s tone that he can’t stand sigurd, and sigurd is seemingly oblivious to that fact.

things you normally take for granted in newer fe games: being able to tell your units apart. 

lets play find the healer shall we?

there she is. maybe on a TV screen these would be easier to tell apart since this is a super nintendo game after all, but as a ROM its pretty much a process of elimination to find the blue one cavalry unit without an obvious weapon in their sprite.

the seemingly “overpowered” built in galeforce of being able to move again after attacking seems a lot less overpowered after playing for a bit and a lot more like a necessary ability. being able to tee off on enemies is pretty much the only way you’re able to clear these maps in any reasonable amount of time.

finally.

all that trouble and you’re basically trolled with ‘sorry your princess is in another castle’

i think that’s going to wrap it up for part 1. i have to say i was definitely not prepared for the sheer amount of time it takes to clear one chapter. i was hoping to knock out a few chapters and post my thoughts after that, but at this rate i’ll only be able to manage one chapter a day so we’ll see how it goes in the future.

so far i like the game, and to be fair i was warned of the length and difficulty several times. but as we saw with ddlc, i tend to ignore warnings. im sure i’ll get used to it more as i progress through the game but right now it seems like the perfect game to play this is when you’re tired, but can’t seem to get to sleep and you’re looking for something to watch or do until you can’t possibly keep your eyes open for another second. if you’re ever in that position, that’s when you should fire this up.

i can definitely see it being offputting to a lot of newer fans, but im stubborn as hell and take this kind of thing as a personal challenge so i’ll definitely be doing my best to step up to the challenge and complete this game rather than backing down.

if you have any questions regarding the game or want to get my thoughts on a certain part of it i just ask that you try to keep it as spoiler free in your question as possible. or just use the reply feature instead.

thanks much for reading.
